It was clean. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy. We were on the road side. It is a bit dated but very spacious. It is located on the other side of stone town. Quite a ways from the airport. It took over an hour during rush hour. The food was amazing!

The resort is perfect for a quick stay. Not long term. The breakfast didn’t have many options. The staff were really nice and very helpful. Room service was ok the best thing we had was the chicken wings. They also offered late check out for an extra cost which was great because we had a late flight.
